Clothing Exchange

[Caroline101061]

Hi Y'all

As our operations dont come with a clothing allowance (!) I was wondering if anyone knew of a website or shop in the London area that had a plus size clothing exchange? Done a quick 'google' and come up with shops that service stick insects only - no foresight these people!

Dunno about you lot but I cannot afford to keep buying clothes and Im not at Primark sizes yet - most of my things are now hanging off!

Maybe we could start something here? Have I found a gap in the market?

Swishing Parties seem to be the up and coming thing. They seem like a good idea and might be what you're looking for.
Try this site:-

Do they take things above an 18 though? Doesnt look like it but I shall email and ask - muchas gracias!

I thought there was something on here somewhere! Can't seem to find it though.

what a good idea, I was hoping that my thinner friends might donate but as they dont know I am even having a band I dont know how to ask !

There is one in the slimming world section I think.

Have a look at the NCT website for your local area, as they organise clothes swap parties. Also, look on freecycle.

Ebay or charity shops will work out fairly cheap!

I just sold a few items on Ebay and made just under £100

i sold my larger clothes on ebay and the cash came in very handy to buy smaller clothes, that way its costing you nothing ! it worked well for me x
